  • Note: CD4+, an increase of ≥ 50 cells/mm3 (0.05 cells × 109/L) within 6 months of combination antiretroviral therapy initiation, CI = confidence interval, OR = odds ratio, VL+, viral suppression ≤ 50 copies/mL within 6 months of combination antiretroviral therapy initiation.

  • * The concordant positive (CD4+/VL+) group was used as the reference category. Statistical significance (p < 0.05) is indicated by a 95% CI that excludes the null value of 1.
